With older bands and more advanced music, I can understand to a point.
But with young MS groups at the Grade 1 level, what defines a march? Adding a flat at the trio, heavy break strains, basis on sonata form, etc are all pretty much absent with from this music and with good reason.
Other than the poor tuba kid playing 1 3 1 3 1 3 and sounding vaguely militaristic, what makes a march in lower grade music?
